What do you think is the main reason that Elie Wiesel named the book "Night"? The reason is that it is figurative language. In my opinion, Elie Wiesel has chosen the title perfectly as in terms of significance and it is understandable.

In "Night” by Elie Wisel, there are numerous examples of figurative language. One of the most prominent uses of figurative language is imagery. In Chapter 4 of this memoir, Elie Wisel successfully illustrates an unsettling picture with imagery, "In no time, the camp had the look of an abandoned ship," (59).

By using words such as “hurling… trampling… tearing… mauling… animal hate,” and adding phrases like “beasts of prey unleashed”, and “sharpening their teeth and nails” (Wiesel 101), the author is effectively able to completely dehumanize these people, showing the extent of their motivation to obtain what they desire.

Night follows the story of Elie Wiesel at age 15, when Nazi Germany took over, and shows his experience surviving in the concentration camps, and how it affected him as a person. Wiesel, through the use of symbolism and metaphors, in Night, paints a picture of specific human nature that illustrates how living in a constant state of suffering or darkness, can corrupt your sense of being and morals, which emphasizes how as people, if we’re manipulated and subjected to hardships, we will do whatever it takes to survive, even if it’s morally incorrect. Morality, while so common, is something people tend to take for granted. The ability to be moral, many argue, stems from innate abilities and therefore cannot be warped. While this is a fair argument,
